The Sustainable Choice

FAQs

A coaching horn is a straight, keyless wind instrument made of brass or copper, historically used by guards on mail coaches to signal their approach to toll gates and inns during the 18th and 19th centuries.

These instruments were predominantly constructed from sheet brass or copper with brazed longitudinal seams, featuring a integrated mouthpiece and a flared bell.

Authentic 19th-century examples typically exhibit hand-brazed seams along the tubing, subtle surface irregularities from hand-hammering, natural metal patination, and an absence of modern machine stamps.

An antique horn can be displayed horizontally resting on a fireplace mantelpiece, mounted as wall art above a desk, or positioned inside a deep bookshelf display.

Dust the item regularly using a dry microfibre cloth, and apply a specialized brass polish occasionally if a reflective surface is preferred, ensuring no abrasive pads are used.
